Singular Event at a Persian Fes-
tiVal.

The Eid-i-Gurhan FESTIVAL of the sac
rifce) was celebrated at Teheran on
August 80, and it was estimated that 5OO,-
600 sheep were killed in and around the
capital 1t is the custom for the shah TO
sacrifice camel in public, the ceremony
being actually performed by one of the
princes as deputy for his majesty, and he
ID vested with the jagheh, or ensign of
royalty, which he wears in his hat. This
year an unprecedented event occurred.
The camel that was to be sacrificed
was brought to the palace door to be in
spected by the shah, and, In the temper
airy absence of its attendants, it wandered
into the corridor through which his mai
esty was to pass. The shah appeared be-
fore the camel could be driven out, and
he was 80 much touched by its beseaching
expression that his majesty ordered not
only that it should be spared, but thai,
in regard for its sagacity in seeking the
sanctuary of the shah el-shah, it should
be given comfortable quarters for life in
the royal menagerie. Another camel was
then brought,which was slain at stroke by
the shah's deputy, who was richly clad and
covered with jewels. Small portions of
the skin and flesh were carried into the
palace, where the shah received them in
state; but as soon as the royal cortege
vanished, the remainder of the still
quivering carcass was literally torn to
pieces by the people, every one endeavor-
ing to get a bit of the flesh, as it is CON
considered lucky to eat of it.

Buying Part of Canada,

PORTLAND, Me- November 10 The Argus pub
fishes over three columns of interviews with Port
land business men on the proposal of Edward At
kinsOn to settle the commerce relation dispute by
purchasing the Canadian maritime provinces for
fifty millions. AtkinsOns proposition is generally
considered impractcable, on the ground that Great
Britain would not be likely to sell.
Gen. Brown, speaking from military point of
view, says that England will never consent to sur
sender her great fortified stronghold in Halifax.
The fishing owners ridicule AtkinsOns plan, and
ticle gives all shades Of opinion, but brings out
strong sentiments in favor of reciprocity and free
trade relations. While deeming AtkinsoR's project
impracticable, the Argus expresses the opinion
that the discussion began by him will lead up to
commercial union, and, perhaps, eventually to
annexation.

Coleridge as a Reporter.
n the Gentlaman'a Ma1azina


On one occasion Coleridge did memoir
able piece of parliamentary reporting.
Pitt was to make an important speech on
February II, asking for war vote. Ac-
cording to Coleridge, or rather to Gilman
writing about it long afterward, he had to
be so many hours in the house, writing
for the Grafton that, after listening to its
ford beginning, and hearing enough
of what followed to know that
it was "a repetition of words, and
words only" ne fell asleep, and only woke
up in time to go back to the office-where
a report of some kind being needed, he
volunteered speech for Mr., Pitt, and
wrote one off hand, which answered the
purpose exceedingly WE'LL" Stuart averred
however, that he also was in the house al
the same time; that Coleridge did not &c
to sleep, and that his report was fairly
accurate, except when he purposely
altered the phrases, as in making Pitt
call Bonaparte "the child and nursling"-
instead of "the child and champion-oi
Jacobinism."
